This script works like chkconfig, but uses update-rc.d in the background for adding and removing system services on a Debian system. I hope some users like this!

# Description: This script works like chkconfig, but uses update-rc.d in
# the background for adding and removing system services on a Debian system.
#
# Examples:
# chkconfig --add name_of_the_service
# chkconfig --del name_of_the_service
#
# Not working: chkconfig 2345 80 20

# For using this on your own system add a file called 'chkconfig' with
# this content in the /sbin/ folder on your harddrive and
# run once this command: chmod +x /sbin/chkconfig
